Company Overview: Medical Guardian is one of the long-term, established players in the medical alarm/PERS field. For a long time they provided only the “standard” medical alert systems with the basic speakerphone technology, but in 2014 they expanded to provide a fuller range of modern technology. They’re particularly strong with their automatic fall detection medical alert.

Equipment: Medical Guardian has the full range of medical alert equipment, from standard base station unit to mobile alert systems.

Price: Medical Guardian has competitive pricing, right on target with most other vendors of medical alarm products and monitoring.

Return and cancellation polices: Okay. There’s no Money Back Guarantee period, but the cancellation policy is decent. The terms and conditions page on the site says, “I understand there is a three month minimum for service and if I cancel afterwards, I am entitled to a full refund for any unused prepaid monitoring if all the equipment is returned in good working order.” (There’s a big charge if you don’t return the equipment.) So basically you’re committed for 3 months, which is actually a good length of time to test the system and know if you’re happy with it. Not risk-free, but not onerous, either.
